Summary: re-writing history
Review: in response to the comment about the "myth of the black rapist" i find it hard to believe that even today in newspapers and television news they would fabricate or choose to solely focus on black rapists. and yet most rapists are predominantly black. this probably has a lot to do with socio-economics but it is there.

Summary: It's time to expose
Review: the so-called taboo relationships between black and mulatto(biracial,triracial)men and Euro-American women before the civil war. Contrary to what many in America believe, white women have active relationships to black men with few fears of punishment other than divorce or enslavement.
The myth of white female purity began after Reconstruction, when embittered white elite sought to reassert their power by limiting the rights of women, blacks, other whites, and other people of color. It was then that they created the black rapist myth to put fear into white women, to justify lynching of blacks and others who didn't conform to its rigid racism of the day, as well as to maintain elite southern white protestant male power.
I'm glad Ms. hodes for exposing the denial that this country has held for decades, even today, that white women wouldn't have relationships with black and mixed black men.

Summary: Where is the companion volume?
Review: This is a wonderful book shedding light on something no one ever admits, namely the obsession of white women with black men. This does indeed expose the true taboo that no one ever mentions and that no one dares to speak of. But what the problem is here is that this book doesn't discuss the other side of this erotic coin. No where is it mentioned what all these white men were doing while their women were out with black men. The truth is that all these white men where cavorting with the young black women who frequently served as nannies and cooks in these households in the 19th century. In fact Strom Thurmonds own dalliance in the early 20th century with a teenage black women was simply the norm in those days. Yet no book dares to expose the other side of a coin that many know about, the illicit `jungle fever' of Caucasian men for African America women. So this book is a mixed bag, it examines one nature of inter-racial relations while ignoring another segment of 19th century society. Seth J. Frantzman
